John Speed's map titled "The Kingdome of Persia with the cheef citties and Habites descibed by John Speede" was indeed created in 1627. This map is part of his larger work titled "The Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine," which was published in several editions during the early 17th century.

In addition to his cartographic endeavors, Speed wrote historical works. One of his notable writings is "The History of Great Britaine," which accompanied his maps in "The Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine." This text provided historical narratives and descriptions to complement his cartographic representations.

John Speed's maps and atlases earned him recognition and acclaim during his lifetime. He was appointed as a member of the Society of Antiquaries in London, highlighting his expertise in historical and antiquarian matters.
